Now, it was this piece that turned me onto the concept of monologues. You remained very honest and concise throughout, and this appealed to me as a vehicle of unloading emotions, as you have done with this.

"She’s grown, you have a new car, the yard is rearranged, and I missed it." Very simple and very sad. This is probably my favourite example of how you achieved really strong emotion through writing with no pretences. Venting worked out well for you :)
